Step 3: Assemble the Casserole Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, chicken pieces, broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper. Pour about ¾ of the teriyaki sauce over the mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Transfer to Baking Dish
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the top to ensure maximum flavor and moisture during baking.
Step 5: Bake Until Perfect
Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, allowing the top to lightly caramelize and the vegetables to become tender.
Step 6: Rest and Garnish
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top, and if desired, add sesame seeds for extra texture and visual appeal.

Tips for Best Results
- Use thighs instead of breast for extra juiciness.
